is it good to have sex everyday - #37988
I am really confused and kinda worried about my health. Lately, me and my partner have been getting quite intimate and I’ve heard different things about it. You know, like, is it good to have sex everyday? I mean, at first, I thought it was great for us, we both feel super connected and honestly, it’s just such a good time, right? But then I started searching online and wow, there's so much range of opinions. Some say it's beneficial for both physical and emotional health, while others like talk about potential downsides. Now I’m wondering, are there any risks or long-term effects? I noticed I’ve started feeling a bit more tired than usual and my body is like, not as responsive as before. Also, I’ve heard people saying that if done too much, intimacy can lead to some kinda imbalance or issues which freaks me out a bit. Is it good to have sex everyday, like is it ok for someone in my 30s? What about hormonal balance or anything? I mean, should I just chill out, or keep going with the flow? Any advice would be super helpful!

Doctors' responses
The frequency of sexual activity, like many aspects of health and well-being, can vary greatly from person to person. In Ayurveda, the emphasis is on balance and alignment with one’s unique constitution or prakriti. For someone in their 30s, generally, regular sexual activity is fine, but it’s important to tune into your own body and assess how it is responding.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, it’s crucial to consider your dosha constitution. Different doshas might respond differently to frequent intimacy. For instance, a Vata dominant person might feel easily drained if engaging in daily intimacy, while a Pitta person might find themselves more invigorated by it. But even for Pittas, excessive indulgence could lead to imbalances such as irritability or restlessness. For someone with a Kapha constitution, daily sexual activity may seem manageable, but they should be cautious of developing emotional dependence on the release of sex-related neurotransmitters.
You’re experiencing fatigue and decreased responsiveness, which could indicate you’re overexerting your body and possibly depleting ojas - the subtle essence that maintains strength and immunity. Ojas can be conserved by practicing moderation, including pacing sexual activity. It’s beneficial to take note of these symptoms and allow your body time to rejuvenate by possibly reducing frequency for a while.
When considering hormonal balance, too much activity without rest can strain the adrenals and affect sleep patterns, potentially leading to stress or hormonal imbalances over time. Ensure that your lifestyle includes adequate rest, nutritious diet rich in rejuvenating rasayanas such as Ashwagandha, and stress-relieving practices. Enhancing digestive fire (Agni) with warm spices like ginger can keep energy levels stable.
If you’re feeling persistent fatigue or imbalances, consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can guide you based on personalized health needs. Keep a watch on your energy levels and mood, they are critical indicators of balance. Remember, moderation is key, so listen to what your body is telling you and make adjustments if needed.
